Animal fertilization relies on hundreds of sperm racing toward the egg, whereas, in
angiosperms, only two sperm cells are delivered by a pollen tube to the female gametes …

Flowering plants have evolved a unique reproductive process called double fertilization,
whereby two dimorphic female gametes are fertilized by two immotile sperm cells conveyed …

Natural cis-antisense siRNAs (cis-nat-siRNAs) are a recently characterized class of small
regulatory RNAs that are widespread in eukaryotes. Despite their abundance, the …

During double fertilization in angiosperms, the pollen tube delivers two sperm cells into an
embryo sac; one sperm cell fuses with an egg cell, and the other sperm cell fuses with the …

All flowering plants exhibit a unique type of sexual reproduction called 'double fertilization'in
which each pollen tube-delivered sperm cell fuses with an egg and a central cell. Proteins …

Production of maternal haploids via a male inducer can greatly accelerate maize breeding
and is an interesting biological phenomenon in double fertilization. However, the …

The reproductive adaptations of land plants have played a key role in their terrestrial
colonization and radiation. This encompasses mechanisms used for the production …

In plants, double fertilization requires successful sperm cell delivery into the female
gametophyte followed by migration, recognition and fusion of the two sperm cells with two …
